===Roads=== [[State Highway 2 (New Zealand)|State Highway 2]] is the principal state highway serving Napier, connecting it to [[Wairoa]] and [[Gisborne, New Zealand|Gisborne]] to the north, and, via [[Dannevirke]], to [[Wellington]], [[Masterton]] and [[Palmerston North]] to the south. Between Napier and Hastings, SH 2 follows the [[Hawke's Bay Expressway]], also known as the Napier-Hastings Expressway, which provides a direct and efficient link between the two cities. Although the Hawke's Bay Expressway bypasses Napier itself, it has connections to many of Napier's arterial roads that lead to the city centre and the Port (such as the junctions at Kennedy Road, Taradale Road, Prebensen Drive and Meeanee Quay) and also intersects with the access road to Hawke's Bay Airport. [[State Highway 5 (New Zealand)|State Highway 5]], known as the Napier-Taupo Road, begins at a junction on SH 2 just north of the Napier suburb of Bay View, and connects Napier and the Hawke's Bay region to [[TaupΕ]] and the central North Island. It is also the main route used for traffic travelling from Napier-Hastings to Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua and Tauranga, as it is quicker than the route through Gisborne taken by SH 2. [[State Highway 50 (New Zealand)|State Highway 50]] connects Napier to the southwestern Hawke's Bay, going through many small settlements. It also connects Napier to many of Hawke's Bay's wineries, of which the region is well known for. It makes up part of the Hawke's Bay Wine Trail. [[State Highway 51 (New Zealand)|State Highway 51]] is an alternative connection between Napier and Hastings, and largely follows the original route of SH 2 between the two cities prior to the completion of the Hawke's Bay Expressway, and SH 2 being shifted to run along it. While the original route followed Meeanee Quay through the suburbs of Westshore and Ahuriri before bridging across the Pandora Pond area of the Napier Inner Harbour marina, the SH 51 route follows Taradale Road instead, meeting up with the original SH 2 route at the southern base of Napier Hill at Hyderabad Road. The route then moves onto Georges Drive, where it borders the southern and western edges of the Napier city centre. It meets up with Marine Parade south of the CBD, and then follows the coast south from Napier through Clive to Hastings. ====Buses==== [[Go Bus Transport|Go Bus]] operates 9 ''Go Bay'' routes in Napier, with funding from Regional Council.<ref>{{Cite web |title=goBay Hawke's Bay Bus Service {{!}} New Zealand |url=https://www.gobay.co.nz/ |access-date=21 August 2020|website=www.gobay.co.nz}}</ref> [[Bee Card (New Zealand)|Bee Cards]] replaced goBay cards in August 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bee Card {{!}} goBay Hawke's Bay Bus Service |url=https://www.gobay.co.nz/bee-card/ |access-date=21 August 2020|website=www.gobay.co.nz}}</ref>
